Board of Directors’ meetings

The Board of Directors’ meetings are held every other month, in public. This means that members of the public and press are welcome to attend these meetings to observe, but not to speak or participate.

Meetings are usually held at 1pm in the Boardroom at Royal Bolton Hospital. We would recommend checking the time and venue before attending by contacting Sharon Katema, Director of Corporate Governance or Victoria Crompton, Corporate Governance Manager, on 01204 390821 or Victoria.Crompton@boltonft.nhs.uk.

If you wish to raise a question you must do so in writing to the above email address, 24 hours before the start of the meeting.

There are times when the Board will need to consider agenda items which are confidential and cannot be discussed in public. The Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings Act) 1960 permits the Board to pass a resolution at the meeting to exclude the public and press from the meeting ‘whenever publicity would be prejudicial to the public interest by reason of the confidential nature of the business, or for other special reasons stated in the resolution’.

A copy of the agenda and papers for the meeting will be available on our website before the meeting.

You are welcome to take written notes of the meeting but cannot record the proceedings in other ways. If you are unable to attend a meeting where a particular topic is being discussed, it is not possible to defer it.

Please find below dates of the public Board meetings, and papers where available.
